Board has received a response from Town Counsel regarding the deeds and
declarations submitted by the applicant. Donald Sienkiewicz went through the
letter with the Board and explained how he plans on
addressing each of Town Counsel’s concerns. He then discussed with the
Board the proposed trails on the plan and the logistics and timing of clearing
the trails. He stated that he would be responsible for the construction of the
western trail but he would like the other trail to be cleared
at the town’s expense. He also noted that he will be
putting in parking spaces at the beginning of the western trail to allow for
public access. He also stated that he would like to leave a caveat in the
easement to allow for reasonable restrictions as the condominium association
sees fit. Alec MacMartin suggested that rather then a private organization

plan from the time of occupancy until construction is complete. They further
explained that these items and/or a bond will need to
be in place before a certificate of occupancy can be approved. The applicant questioned

a discussion with the Planning Board.
